Then right click the xfce menu > propertiesunder 'menu file' click: 'use default menu' then click the 'edit menu' button to open alacartecan create new menus and launcher items, drag and drop menus and launchers around (including creating menu hierarchies) and turn menus and launchers on and off or delete them.

Thanks for your answer but "alacarte" doesn't seem to be the solution. After I have installed it, I tried the program and the buttons to the right of the screen despite the fact that they react when I use them, they had no effect. If I try to add an element, the button change to green and nothing else appear.

I'm on Mint Nadia XFCE and I had applied all updates for the system. If you have an another solution, I will be happy to read your post !

I have tried to execute "alacarte" in a terminal screen; the first screen of the program appears and when selected the add element button, it's the same problem but an error message appear in the terminal window. Here is an image of the terminal screen:

the error message indicates that there is no file or the directory as requested in line 1259 of the subprocess.py file.

however I think this bug has been fixed in the latest version of alacarte ?make sure you have the recommended updates repo turned on in software sources and run update manager to get the latest version 3.5.5-0ubuntu1.1 of alacarte that doesn't have the above dependency.

Warning: 'install' and 'uninstall' must be ran with root privileges, or the installation or uninstallation will not work. If you do not wish to install Menu Props, you can always run it from the current directory using 'python menuprops.pyc'. Menu Props also requires root privileges, because it needs to access /usr/share/applications/ and other application-menu related directories, that are often protected by default.

If install/uninstall doesn't run, it may be because they need to be made 'executable'. To fix this in a terminal, type: sudo chmod a+x install sudo chmod a+x uninstall

If /usr/share/menuprops/menuprops does not run, it may be because it needs to be made 'executable'. To fix this in a terminal, type: sudo chmod a+x /usr/share/menuprops/menuprops

I tested Version 2.5.3 and I've now got Version 3.0 installed on Slackware 14. I know Christopher is running Debian 6.x "Squeeze".
